Daily Raisin Cake with Orange
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups raisins
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup corn oil
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Preparation
Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Prepare a tube pan and grease it with butter then dust with flour.
On a piece of parchment paper or in a deep plate, sift about 2.5 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the raisins to the remaining flour and mix lightly with fingertips to coat completely.
Add orange juice to the yogurt and mix to combine the ingredients.
In the mixer bowl, place the eggs, vanilla, and sugar, attach the whisk attachment, and run the mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes until the volume doubles and the color becomes light yellow. With continuous running, add the oil gradually until fully mixed. Add the milk mixture alternately with the flour and mix until a smooth cake batter forms. Add the orange zest.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the flour-raisin mixture. Using a plastic spoon, fold the cake mixture until uniform with the raisins.
Pour the cake batter into the pan.
Place the pan in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Test doneness with a wooden skewer; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
